  2. “We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.” Albert Einstein

  3. IBM Research Defined • IBM Research is a $5 Billion IBM funded agency with over 3200 scientists and technologist actively performing research in 8 IBM Research labs and over 100 IBM Development Labs around the globe in collaboration with research partners to solve real world problems . • IBM researchers have been recognised with five Nobel laureates, seven U.S. National Medals of Technology, five National Medals of Science and 21 memberships in the National Academy of Sciences

  5. Big Blue Goes for the Big Win IBM's director of R&D is shifting the tech giant's focus—and making a few enormous bets The other major change Kelly has in the works is overhauling the way IBM does research. Today the tech giant has eight research facilities with 3,200 scientists, and it hasn't opened a new one in a decade. Kelly foresees creating dozens of new joint ventures for research, which he calls "collaboratories," with countries, companies, and independent research outfits. IBM Research Strategy Refined IBM/ Saudi Arabia Nanotechnology Collaboratory Launched on 26 February 2008 The two sides plan to develop technologies for solar energy and water desalinization. The Saudis chose IBM because of its expertise. IBM scientists won a Nobel Prize in 1986 for nanotech breakthroughs, and they're leaders in developing new nanotech materials. "We want to work with the best in the field," says Turki Saud Al-Saud, vice-president for Research Institutes in King Abdulaziz City for Science & Technology. "Great ideas are springing up everywhere, and we need to shift from focusing on large brick-and-mortar operations to having a much more collaborative outreach program."

  6. Life Sciences (Solving the Problem) Identify anticipated antigen and antibody using IBM technology Project Checkmate seeks to model mutations and interactions between avian flu and human influenza to determine strains that could cause an epidemic: • Before the epidemic occurs. • In time to produce vaccine to avoid the epidemic. Project Checkmate is a collaboration between IBM Research and the Scripps Institute.

  7. Blue Brain will search for: • New insights into how human beings think and remember. • How specific defects in our circuitry may contribute to autism, schizophrenia and Parkinson's. With Blue Brain, research that used to require several years of lab work can be done in a matter of days or minutes – using Blue Gene. Life Sciences (Making the Connection) The first objective of the Blue Brain is to create a cellular level, software replica of the Neocortical Column for real-time simulations. A project of Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne.

  8. Blue Fern is used for: • Modeling blood flow to the brain to better understand prevention and diagnosis of strokes • Modeling Auto-regulation in the Kidney Life Sciences (Being Bold) News Global supercomputer rankings: UC in the Top 100 2nd July 2007 The University of Canterbury's new IBM Blue Gene supercomputer officially recognised as one of the 100 most powerful supercomputers in the world. UC gains Southern Hemisphere research advantage 31 May 2007 The University of Canterbury will be the first research institution in the Southern Hemisphere to have an IBM Blue Gene supercomputer, putting it among elite research-led universities such as Harvard University, Princeton University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the United States. Supercomputer takes up residence at UC 20 June 2006 The most powerful scientific research computer in the Southern Hemisphere has just been installed in the University of Canterbury's College of Engineering building.
